We had a wonderful time at the house! Jose was fabulous to work with from start to finish. The house is great with nice rooms, beautiful view, and awesome pool/patio. I can't say enough about the wonderful food and hospitality!! Such a treat!!

Loved Mismaloya and the awesome staff and this beautiful home. Lots of enjoyment! Location was great and having the car a real plus! Felt so safe and happy here. The previous reviews are very accurate. The only suggestion I have for improvement is there are either broken inoperable roller shades, actually only 2 in the Primary room, that have been glued and are falling apart or NO window coverings at all in the other rooms. We had a failing Air Conditioner that they had replaced or fixed quickly and a couple normal maintenance items that were handled immediately. We were very impressed as they were very nice and responsive. Overall a 10.

Beautiful flower pots everywhere, gorgeous view, amazing sunsets, comfortable beds, perfect layout for our group! The chef was kind and talented (DELICIOUS!), and the caretaker was very helpful. Unfortunately for our 2-day stay, the electricity was out for 8 hours, and both the chef and caretaker were off for this day (we were not informed of this ahead of time) and were not answering calls or texts. Also, the caretaker's truck was broken down so he was unable to help drive us. However, I was able to contact the owner, who was in Texas. He kindly offered to pay for any local taxi we would need! This was extremely thoughtful and generous of him. It should be noted that the 10 minute walk from the house to the local beach is quite steep and cobblestoned, and is difficult for some elderly or injured people. All in all, the house and view are beautiful, and the 2 meals the chef cooked were outstanding. However, it should have been communicated that the chef and caretaker would not be available for one of the 2 days we were there, and that they don't speak much English.

We were a group of 4 couples celebrating milestone birthdays! The house was beautiful, and the view was breathtaking. The staff was very accommodating, helped us with transportation, and made us a wonderful breakfast every morning. The location is great and walkable to the beach. We enjoyed taking water taxis to Yelapa!

Staff very helpful and friendly, they were like part of our family. Villa much larger than expected, enjoyed that each bedroom is secluded from the others. Sky cable was very good, many English language and US channels. Views can't be beat, the pools are wonderful and there is a bathroom with a shower nearby. Beach was better than we expected. We spent two of our afternoons at a beach bar called Ramada Camarena, loungers are free as long as you order drinks. Also be sure to walk into town (on way to zoo), lots of little tequila bars and a few places to eat. The walk back up to the villa is pretty steep, but doable, and Rogelio is always happy to drive you. We highly recommend taking the bus to downtown PV, as it picks you up at the bottom of the hill, and is only 10 pesos. If you want to avoid taking bus back, Uber to was only ~US$10 on a late afternoon. Again, Rogelio is happy to help with that transport as well. We agree with other commenters that this place is a gem, well worth it for a special occasion!

Wonderful experience. Great food, lots of fun. We appreciate everything so much! Great way to start the new year. Thank you!

We just got back from a vacation with our three adult children and their significant others. The villa was spectacular - spacious, elegant, clean and with everything we could want. All four bedrooms were truly master suites. We went on a couple of wonderful excursions and especially loved the afternoon on the boat with Captain Ralph. After our excursions, we returned to the serenity and comfort of the villa and so much enjoyed having the place all to ourselves. The staff were amazing and made the trip especially wonderful. We loved it and will definitely recommend to our friends and return ourselves!

I can’t say enough about our stay, the host, the staff, the location, the food, the graciousness, the service. Many from our group have been collaborating a quick return. The property is exactly as advertised and the posting doesn’t do it justice. A little slice of heaven. Fide and Rogelio went above and beyond for our group. Estella (the cleaner, along with the other two) was also wonderful. Jose - the host/owner, checked in with us, communicated and answered all of our questions immediately. Rogelio hooked us up for a boat cruise and hike with his friend Rafaelle and even called Rafaelle to check on us when we ended up cruising later than expected. We will be back, without a doubt. Do not hesitate to book this property. I have been to Mexico 14 times, both sides, I will always try to return here first from here on out. Thank you! It was honestly the trip and stay of a lifetime. We were a group of 10 and all feel the same. ❤️

Absolutely every review gives Casa BuenaVista 5 Stars, including this one. One of the other reviews says , stop looking and just book the Villa, I agree 100 %. The staff Fide, Rogelio and Valeria are are amazing . We were in PV for a special family event and they connected us with Captain Ralph for an excursion that our entire family is indebted to. Over all Casa BuenaVista is the best choice we could have made and we will be back. Thank you so much, Jose, Fide, Rogelio and Valeria. Tim M Edmonton

We loved our stay at this villa overlooking Mismaloya Beach. Everything about our stay could not be better. The villa is fabulous and easily accommodated our family of 8 adults and 2 children. The owner Jose Font was great and the staff was extraordinary. Fide was terrific and cooked the most amazing meals, and Rodgilio could not be more helpful. The location is great with a world class view. The beach is beautiful and be sure to take a boat excursion to go snorkeling with Captain Ralph.

All the guests who stayed (we were a group of 10) all agreed that this was the best house we have ever stayed at, anywhere. I could not recommend it enough. The staff were over the top. They were welcoming, nice, and helpful. The meals and set up were insane and amazing, they accommodated everything, and cleaned everyday. We went for a birthday trip and we have and will be recommending this house to everyone we know. Thank you Jose for helping it the best birthday trip I could ask for!

First of all, the pictures of this listing is dead on!! Usually when you book a place and arrive, you wonder what year was the pictures posted. NOT THIS PLACE!! It is exactly what we were expecting and much much more! We only experienced one little hiccup in our trip. The SUV that we were planning on using throughout our trip, broke down the day before so we had to use taxis and ubers. Which was not any issue at all. Very easy to get into connect with and use. The host, Jose was great. He answered ALL my questions prior to our trip. We when arrived, we had the biggest spread of Mexican cuisine we ever did see. We actually ate on it for lunch the next day. Rodgilio and Fide was absolutely wonderful!! They listened to everything we asked for and accommodated us like kings and queens. We left them in charge for cooking whatever they wanted and boy, it was always so fresh and delicious. Our overall experience with this rental was for more than we expected. Not only is the house is gorgeous but everyone in Puerto Vallarta is so nice and accommodating to all tourist.

one of the best places i've ever stayed! jose was a terrific host, answering all my questions as they came up. as for the property, it's simply amazing - epic views, wonderful shared spaces, terrific pool. the staff here is also incredibly supportive and helpful, catering to all our needs and providing delicious meals for us. our group of 9 never felt cramped up and all enjoyed ample personal space. a quick walk to mismaloya beach makes for a wonderful day trip, but you'll probably never want to leave the property.

If you are unsure about renting this property, stop reading now and do it. The place is AMAZING. For the price, it is easily one of the best villas in PV and possibly the world. To begin with, the villa is located in a very high-end landscaped gated community directly across from a very mellow 'locals' type beach with bars, restaurants and amazing sunsets. Outside of the villa, you are greeted by large gates for privacy, and once inside absolutely breathtaking views from inside and outside the expansive multi-level home. There are many areas for your group to gather. I stayed with just my wife and hung out in a new area of the villa every day. The two pools are excellent and heated. One is a wading pool, the other a deeper pool both with views of the ocean. Each room is a master suite with views of the ocean. The best part of the villa is easily Rodgilio and Fide, the live-in housekeepers. Rodgilio made a somewhat complicated transfer from our hotel to the villa with an excursion in between easy and seamless. When we arrived at the villa tired from an adventure, they had the house stocked completely with everything from our shopping list with an absolutely amazing multi-course Mexican dinner prepared. Every day we said 'dealers choice' for breakfast, lunch and dinner and they did not disappoint. Rodgilio is available for the quick drive (under a minute but a big hill) to and from the beach. Will absolutely be back!!!

Beautiful villa, well appointed and charming. The view of the sunset and bay were breathtaking. The villa is a distance from downtown PV and the marina but Rogelio’s SUV got all 10 of us everywhere we wanted to go.. Probably the best aspect of staying at Casa Buena Vista was the staff. We never had to eat at restaurants because Fide is such a fantastic cook and bartender. Valeria was also very friendly and helpful. They truly made they trip so carefree and memorable. I would not hesitate to recommend this villa and plan to return next year. Thank you Jose for all your help!!

Property was just as described, and looked just like the photos. We had a wonderful week with family celebrating my husband's birthday. Everyone had space, and enjoyed the wonderful meals, pools and the occasional trip into Puerto Vallarta. The staff made us feel welcome and did everything to make sure we had a good week. Wonderful!!

Our family of seven had a week full of fun and relaxation. Fide, Rogelio and Valeria spoiled us with their attention and service. Jose checked on us and always answered our questions promptly. Casa Buena Vista is beautiful and kept spotless. Highly recommend this beautiful vacation spot!

Property is 5 star. You will not be disappointed by the view, the staff and truly sets up for relaxation. From the owner to members of the staff you are catered too.

We had a party of nine that stayed at Casa Buenavista over the Christmas holiday this year. The experience was everything we hoped for! Jose was in contact with me prior to our trip to help with questions and plan for our arrival, and checked in before we departed. The property was amazing, in all aspects, with impressive views of the bay below. We actually saw whales migrating several mornings while having coffee on the patio! The hospitality provided by Fide, Valerie and Rojelio was exceptional, they take care of so much behind the scenes to ensure the guests have a fantastic experience and they felt like family by the time we left. We are all completely spoiled by the amazing meals Fide prepared, our options for Mexican dining back home will never measure up…. Yes, it can be a strenuous walk back up hill from the beach, but we enjoyed the workout and calories burned. Additionally, Rogelio was always there to give us a lift if needed. It was a great layout with the rooms on different levels as it allowed everyone to have separate space if needed or be together collectively. We loved our stay at Casa Buenavista, miss being there already…..

This place was amazing. Jose, the property owner, called a few times to check in which was very nice. The view and the house are unbelievable. I can not say enough wonderful things about Fide who cooked all our meals and was so attentive and helpful. Her food is amazing! Both her and Rijelio were great. I agree with other reviews that it is a bit more than a 5 min walk to beach but the views and hospitality more than made up for it. We will be returning for sure! Love love love this place!!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Casa Buenavista! The house was beautiful and the staff took incredible care of us. The view is stunning, and the grounds and house are beautiful. Each room is large and has its own en-suite bathroom, so that was great as well. The owner was helpful and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. The only thing to note is we were told it was a five minute walk to the beach, but it's more like 15. The younger people in our party had no issue with it, but it was too steep and too far for our elderly parents to walk. The chaffuer (there is a Suburban available to take you where you want togo) was always happy to drive, so it wasn't an issue, but I wouldn't really consider it typical walking distance to the beach. The mountain view overlooking the ocean more than made up for the distance.

We were there for 7 nights. Jose the owner is very nice and easy to communicate. Employees, Fide, Ester and Rijelio are amazing. Nothing is too much for them and always with a smile. Rijelio took us anywhere at any time with no complaints. As for the property, very nice and nicely located. However, a few things first of we didn’t appreciate that on Sunday there were no employees and we were not told in advance. I understand they need a day off but we should have been told as we paid for seven nights. The water pressure is an issue but maybe normal for Mexico. At times you have to wait 10 minutes before you get hot water. I think Jose should invest in some WiFi speakers as one doesn’t want to connect the phone to the system and leave it up there. The only other issue we had was none of the rooms or the main house locks work. Again maybe normal for the area but should be fixed. The AC units for each room is good but we didn’t really know how to operate it. Upon arrival none of the ACs were on so it was ver hot. Again not a big deal. Overall the only big issue was Sunday no employees otherwise we loved it all.

We just returned from a week stay at Casa Buena Vista and it was one of our most memorable carefree vacations with our extended family that included 2 small children ages 2 and 5-the kids pool is a definite plus. From planning with the host Jose, to the day of arrival, Fide, Ester and Rogelio ensure you have what you need and take excellent care of preparing meals and ensuring your comfort while at the villa. The view of Mismaloya's bay from the house is simply amazing and each night's stellar sunset was complimented by Fide's excellent meals she prepared with love! We can't wait to bring our family back for another memorable and excellent vacation experience.

House is amazing, staff (Fida, Rogelio and Estelle) are delightful, and owner Jose is a gracious host! Jose called several times before and during the trip to check on our stay. Fida cooked the most amazing meals, Rogelio took us anywhere we needed to go day or night, and Estelle kept the house immaculate and even did our laundry so unpacking when we got home was a dream. We travel to Puerto Vallarta several times a year and this was our first time staying in Mismaloya. The staff at Casa Buenavista (and of course the beautiful home) are the reason we will return! Thank you for making this holiday season extra special!!!!

Let me start by letting everyone know that PV is extremely safe when it comes to COVID. Every location around the home is doing their part at making sure they protect themselves and all the guest. They are constantly cleaning and making sure that masks are worn by all the staff. Every location we went to made us feel very at ease. Now to the house and our experience. For starters let me say this again, the pictures and description on VRBO don't do it justice. This house is beautiful. Extremely clean and very well kept. The rooms are all very spacious with strong air conditioners. Each room has a perfect view of the ocean. It was amazing to wake up to the view every morning. Watching the sun rise and sunset from our room balconies or shared balcony was our daily ritual. And one who stays here needs to take advantage of that. It breath taking. We took advantage of the pools a lot on our trip. Nothing like waking up in the morning and jumping right into a pool overlooking the ocean. At night the pools are very well lit and have a speaker system that you can hook your phone up to. It was all we needed! Now to the real reason I felt the need to write a review. I'm typically not a "leave a review" person. I've never left a yelp review, never take surveys for anything, but this time it was a must. The home owner and staff are what set this house apart from any other property I've stayed at. The owner Jose called me personally days before my trip to check in with me and make sure he answered any questions or concerns I had. He would call to check in with us every few days during our stay to make sure we were happy or if we needed anything else during our stay. He genuinely cares about his guest. He takes pride in his service and it shows. And last but certainly not least are the 3 staff members. Fide, Esther, and Rogelio go above and beyond to make your stay exceed any expectation you can dream of. They took care of us all like we were part of their family. They will do everything from make you the best meals of your life (we had 2 chefs in our group and they were shocked at how AMAZING the cooking was), to drive you a few hours away to check out secret beaches, to make you soup and tea if you have an upset stomach from too much drinking at the beach, to help you wash or iron clothes, to set up fishing trips, jet skies, ATVs, boat trips, ziplining. They are all very attentive people. Again, they are really really care about their guest.
